- The Second New Deal
- Social Security Act- old age pensions and unemployment benefit

- Works Progress Administration (WPA)- funded more work programmes
- Resettlement Act- built housing for the homeless in towns and countryside.
- In 1935 the Supreme Court ruled some New Deal acts and agencies unconstitutional and against the law (such as NRA and AAA). The Supreme Court was mostly anti-Roosevelt and were Republican judges who were old men
- Roosevelt tried to pack the Court with his own supporters but this was defeated in Congress. However, as judges died or retired he replaced them with his supporters.
